Tom,

Pleasant surprise seems to be the order of the day for 1970 Bdx. Even wines
from estates with as you say spotty reps seem to be holding on, a bit over the
hill but fading gracefully. In past year or so, besides the Rauzan-Segla, I've
had the '70 L'Angelus (from a 375!) and Gloria, both held interest (the Gloria
doesn't really have a spotty rep, but a good 33 yr old Cru Bourgeois is always
a little surprising).

I've heard good things about Lascombes over lst few years, think there rep is
being restored.
